Synopsis

In an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's seminal novel The Price of Salt, CAROL follows two women from very different backgrounds who find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change. A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection deepens. While Carol breaks free from the confines of marriage, her husband (Kyle Chandler) begins to question her competence as a mother as her involvement with Therese and close relationship with her best friend Abby (Sarah Paulson) come to light.

This is Todd Haynes' best film, which is saying a lot. The film drips with style and uncommon lyricism, with the accoutrements of upper class life in 1950s America. The camera work is smooth, almost gentle, and kind of wraps around the two main characters. Blanchett is wonderful, but Mara has the harder task and does well by it. The only issue I have with the plot is buying that Chandler's character would just drop the divorce like that. It's too pat. It would've changed the movie's ending, It's a 21st century ending and was jarring for me.
